Samsung's 2026 foldables are up for pre-order — I've found the best deals on the new Z Flip 8, Z Fold 8 and Z Fold 8 Ultra in Australia

Up to AU$750 off is a massive saving already — well, what else are you going to spend your tax return on?

Samsung’s new Galaxy Z-series foldables have been officially unveiled, and pre-orders have also kicked off in Australia.

We’ve covered Samsung’s pre-order offers through its Australian e Store here, but retailers and telcos across the country are jostling for your attention with their own pre-order deals.

The best outright pre-order deals are direct from Samsung with up to AU

650 in savings, while the best telco deal is from Vodafone, with savings of up to AU

1,000.

In case you missed the Galaxy Unpacked last night, you can check out our live coverage of the launch. As for the handsets themselves, you can also read our first impressions of the newly redesigned Z Fold 8, Z Fold Ultra and the Z Flip 8.

I’ve collected the best outright and telco deals for the 2026 Samsung foldable range below, with links taking you straight to the pre-order pages:

Trade in any qualifying device (with a value of at least AU

1) and you can get an extra AU

150 credit off the Fold 8 with this exclusive pre-order offer. If you bundle the Fold 8 with a Galaxy Tablet, Watch, Buds, Ring or other accessories, use the code UNFOLD2026 to take

150 off your entire cart (until July 25, which then drops down to AU

50 off until August 14). You can also redeem Rewards Points to save more, and check out with Pay Pal for an extra AU

150 off. But that’s not all — if you want more storage, our exclusive code TR-FOLD8 will take another AU

200 off the 1TB model.

While Amazon isn't discounting the device per se, you’ll receive a AU$300 Amazon credit and 20% off selected Samsung accessories.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 | Vodafone Small Promo Plan | 80GB | 24 months | AU$128.28p/m

Vodafone is offering a AU

700 handset discount and discounting its Small Plan by AU

13p/m off (plus mobile data boosted to 80GB), but what makes it the best telco deal is the addition of a AU$300 credit when you trade in an old device.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 | Optus Small Choice Plus Plan | 60GB | 24 months | AU$126.18p/m

If you’re not looking to trade in your old phone, Optus slightly beats Vodafone’s offers with a AU

750 handset discount for the Galaxy Z Fold 8, as well as a AU

15p/m off plan fees for the first 12 months.

Best Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra pre-order deals

Like the Z Fold 8 above, the bonus trade-in credit here is also AU

150 on qualifying devices, and the Unpacked Eco-Voucher and Pay Pal savings also apply, and using the TR-FOLD8 exclusive code will take AU

200 off the 1TB model.

Like the Z Fold 8 above, pre-ordering from Amazon will net you a AU$300 credit and 20% off selected Samsung accessories.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra | Vodafone Small Promo Plan | 80GB | 24 months | AU$140.78p/m

The AU

700 handset discount and AU

300 trade-in bonus credit from the Z Fold 8 above also apply here, with the monthly cost at AU$140.78p/m with Vodafone's cheapest plan.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra | Optus Small Choice Plus Plan | 60GB | 24 months | AU$138.69p/m

Like the Z Fold 8 above, Optus is offering a

750 discount on its Ultra sibling, as well as a AU

15p/m off plan fees for the first 12 months.

The trade-in credit for the Z Flip 8 is lower at AU

100 during the pre-order period, and the potential savings from the UNFOLD2026 Unpacked Eco-Voucher (AU

150 off during the first 72 hours) and checking out with Pay Pal (a further AU$150 off) apply here, too.

Just like its more premium siblings above, pre-ordering the Galaxy Z Flip 8 from Amazon will give you a AU$300 credit and 20% off selected Samsung accessories.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 8 Ultra | Optus Small Choice Plus Plan | 60GB | 24 months | AU$94.92p/m

Optus is also giving the Z Flip 8 a

750 discount like the two more premium handsets above, as well as a AU

15p/m off plan fees for the first 12 months.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 8 | Vodafone Small Promo Plan | 80GB | 24 months | AU$105.36p/m

The Z Flip 8 gets a smaller AU

500 handset discount at Vodafone, but the trade-in credit is the same at AU

300 like the Z Fold 8 and Ultra. The monthly cost of AU$105.36p/m with Vodafone's cheapest plan makes it more expensive than Optus' offer above.
